Talbot Adds Pirates In Club

Baseball Betting Lines

Heading to the hill for the Indians in the series finale this afternoon is Mitch Talbot. The right-hander, who is in search of just his third win of 2011, saw limited time with the big club in April and May but managed to work his way into five starts last month.

 

On Monday the third-year man lasted just five innings against Arizona, giving up three runs on three hits and a pair of walks and even though the Tribe captured the win Talbot did not factor into the decision.

 

As for Cincinnati, its plan is to hand the ball to right-hander Mike Leake for his first-ever appearances against Cleveland. Leake, now in just his second year in the majors, posted his most recent win on Monday, a 5-0 decision over the Tampa Bay Rays.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jason Marquis hasn't lost in over a month, and the Nationals hope to give the veteran right-hander plenty of run support today when Washington concludes a four-game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Marquis is 2-0 over his last six appearances and hasn't lost since May 25 at Milwaukee. He is coming off a no-decision against the Angels on Tuesday, when he threw five-plus innings. The Nats have scored at least five runs in seven of his last 10 starts.

 

In 27 games (23 starts) over his career, Marquis is 12-6 with a 3.60 ERA when facing the Pirates.

 

The Pirates took the first contest, 5-3, behind back-to-back, eighth-inning homers from Garrett Jones and Andrew McCutchen.

 

Later in the frame, with two down, Rodriguez fell behind 0-2, then fought off two fastballs before slicing a line drive to right, scoring Rick Ankiel.

 

The Nationals lead the season series, 4-3. Washington has taken 11 of the last 15 in this series.

 

The chance for the sweep in Detroit came after a 15-3 rout last night in a game that was delayed 2 1/2 hours by rain. Brandon Crawford, Pablo Sandoval and Miguel Tejada each homered. Crawford went 3-for-4 with three RBI and three runs scored for San Francisco. Sandoval extended his hitting streak to a career-best 13 games.

 

Tejada hit a grand slam and scored twice for the Giants, who also got two RBI from Aubrey Huff.
